Nikhil feels that the dragon's eyes are staring at him, but he assumes it to be his illusion and goes inside the metro, telling himself that this is the effect of his playing too much games. There is a strange smile on Sarthak's face and his heart is also beating fast, he says to himself while hiding his smile from everyone's eyes. "I am getting this strange feeling because I want to use my power on someone who is stronger than me, I did not know that such a feeling was suppressed inside me, which is trying to come out today after getting the power."
This feeling was that which every weak person feels after getting the power which he does not expect. Both the doors of the metro are closed, there many students are busy talking to their friends, many are using their phones, some students were fighting and some weak students were hiding alone in a corner so that no one can see them. But here Sarthak was checking his system, "All my skills are locked, I don't have any experience points right now! If Nikhil has strength then according to my stats Nikhil should have ten strength points because the specialty of his power is strength which means that his other stats will be equal to that of a normal person."
He then thinks and says to himself while looking at the strength stat point, "umm.. interesting.. if you see Nikhil doesn't have any skill right now then if I unlock one more skill with all these stats then I can easily face Nikhil." Sarthak was mumbling to himself, only he could see the system screen in front of him due to which the rest of the students were backing off after seeing Sarthak, "Is this boy mad?" said the first boy who was standing near Sarthak while Sarthak was sitting.
"Whether he is mad or not, if we stay near him, we will start talking to ourselves like him", said the second boy who was his friend. The first boy agrees and says while moving away from Sarthak, "He is right, let's go and stand somewhere else." Sarthak is not paying any attention to his surroundings, he is lost in his own world.
The metro stops and as the doors open, all the students come out. Sarthak also comes out, he walks a kilometer after coming out of the metro station, after which his school comes. He goes inside with the other students and goes to the class and sits on his bench which was the last bench of the second row from the back.
All the students of the school come to their respective classes, inside the class the students were talking to each other but Sarthak was thinking something else with his head on the bench, "Has the class teacher not come yet?"
After a few moments, a voice comes from the speaker installed in all the classrooms of the school, which is installed on the wall with the blackboard, in the right corner. "All students should reach the school playground within the next ten minutes."
After this announcement, the students start talking among themselves, "I have to go to the playground, I don't want to go to the playground, if you had told me earlier, I would not have come to class." said a lazy student, after which another student said, "Today if the teachers are calling us to the playground, then there must be something."
The other student was curious. Many students had their own questions, all the students reach the playground by forming a class wise line with their class monitor, "All students pay attention, all of you must know that every year some special teachers are selected for the selection of students from 'Awakener Academy', who go to different schools and select students for Awakener Academy."
The principal of the school, standing on a very big stage, says, his belly is quite prominent and his hair is also quite thin. All the teachers of the school are behind the principal while two men are standing next to the principal, the principal says further.
"Two special teachers have come to take you all to Awakener Academy!" said the principal waving his hand towards those two men, on which the first man extends his hand and taking the mic from the principal says, "We can handle it from here, thank you." The principal gives his mic to that man after which he starts speaking in a calm but commanding voice.
"I am the Lead Combat Instructor of Awakener Academy and my name is Goldie, the one standing next to me is Elemental Affinity & Psychic Evaluation Officer ms. 'Kiara', from here onwards, the responsibility of all of you is ours for today."
Goldie whose voice is deep and authoritative, his height is 6 feet 2 inches, he does not have any beard or moustache, his age is around 35 years but even after this his body looks quite agile and fit. He was wearing a black combat uniform, there was a sword on his back which looked quite old, he had a buzz cut on his head and black hair.
On the other side, Kiara was standing quietly but was observing everything, her height was 5 feet 7 inches, she was wearing a black and red sleeveless cloak, she was wearing a fire ring in her left hand, "We will select the students in a mini combat which will be held in the school's Gymnasium."
Saying this, Goldie gets down from the stage and starts going towards the Gymnasium with the Principal, Kiara is behind them, after they leave from there, the students also start going towards the Gymnasium. Sarthak's eyes widen in excitement, he gets a notification from the system.
